Nowadays, the performance of laptop computers is becoming more and more powerful, but the keyboard typing experience on the laptop is definitely not as comfortable as the mechanical keyboard . Users who care about the typing experience often choose an external mechanical keyboard for coding work or playing games. To take into account the mobile characteristics of notebooks, these users prefer smaller-sized mechanical keyboards. Daryou has also noticed this huge potential market demand and launched Daryou A87 Pro single-mode customized gaming mechanical keyboard. Can this product make these users want to plant grass? Let’s experience it this time.
Daryou A87 Pro single-mode customized gaming mechanical keyboard comes in various styles. The one we reviewed this time is the sky axis V3 version in twilight gray. The overall appearance of the keyboard is mainly white, with orange and light blue. With embellishments, it looks very fresh and elegant, and the appearance is very recognizable. At the same time, because this keyboard adopts an 87-key layout plan, the numeric keypad was compromised and abandoned. Of course, in exchange for it, it has a 98-key keypad. With a smaller size of 104 keys, for users who use notebook external keyboards, they will indeed pay more attention to the size of the keyboard. In comparison, the numeric keypad is indeed not that important.
The three indicator lights on the keyboard are located in the right area of the front of the keyboard. Since the numeric keypad has been cancelled, the rightmost numeric keypad switch indicator light has been changed to a lock pattern indicator light. Whether this indicator light is always on indicates Is the keyboard locked in Windows operating system.
The back of the keyboard is equipped with 5 non-slip pads. There is a tripod in the upper left corner and upper right corner that supports two-stage adjustment. In the middle of the interval between the two tripods is the USB Type-C interface of the keyboard, but everyone One thing to note is that this Type-C interface area uses a special groove design. Some third-party Android data cables cannot be plugged into the interface if they have thick ends. Therefore, when using this keyboard, try to use it with the original data cable. . After all, this data cable can also be used to charge Android phones. It’s not a big problem to take this data cable without the phone’s charging cable when you go out.
As a gaming mechanical keyboard, how can it work without cool RGB lighting effects? Daryou A87 Pro not only supports RGB lighting effects, but can also be quickly adjusted through the lever button on the upper left side of the keyboard. The top gear is the always-on mode, the middle gear is the breathing mode, and the bottom gear is Turn off the lighting effect. It can be said that the adjustment of the lighting effect mode of this keyboard is very convenient. Of course, it is also possible to make some more refined adjustments to the RGB lighting effects. For example, the combination of the Fn key and the plus and minus keys can quickly adjust the light brightness. The combination of the Fn key and PgUp or PgDn can adjust other lights. frequency speed, and the key combination of Fn key and F6 to F11 can also set more lighting effects of this keyboard.
Not only does the RGB lighting effect have key combinations, but the Fn key, the numbers 1 to 6, and the Win key can form a multifunctional media key combination. You can also switch between Windows and macOS through the combination of the Fn key and the W key, which is more Unfortunately, there are no icons for these key combinations on the keycaps. If you don't memorize them by rote, it's still a bit difficult to get started. Although this mechanical keyboard also provides some replaceable keycaps to solve the problem of aesthetic fatigue after long-term use, the replaceable keycaps are not the key area of these combination keys. I hope Daryou can display the pattern of the paired keys in the future. Make some optimizations so that the key combinations can be displayed intuitively on the keyboard.
After looking at the external performance of this keyboard, let’s talk about its internal structure. The axis of the keyboard is Sky Axis V3. The axis itself has a press life of 80 million times and the trigger pressure is 40±3gf. Moreover, the keyboard itself also supports full-key hot-swap operation. Not only can the sky axis V3 on the keyboard be replaced with its own purple gold axis, it is also compatible with 99% of mechanical axis bodies on the market. Players who love tossing can replace their own convenient ones. It can be said that using the axis body provides a fairly high degree of freedom.
It is worth mentioning that the experience of long strip keys such as the Enter key, Space bar and Shift has also been optimized. The satellite axis of each large key has been carefully designed, and there is no shaking problem when tapping these large keys. , the sense of balance when coding is quite good.
Moreover, Daryou not only considers the users of mechanical keyboards themselves, but also considers the roommates or colleagues of this keyboard users. We know that the typing of mechanical keyboards is very refreshing, but the noise made by many mechanical keyboards is harmful to others. The interference effect also exists objectively. Therefore, Daryou has added a new fence-type gasket structure to this keyboard. The internal high-tenacity silencer silicone pad reduces the sound emitted when the keyboard is struck, so that roommates or colleagues can normally Your life and work are not disturbed by noise problems, and you also get a comfortable keyboard experience. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to win together?
In addition, this mechanical keyboard also supports full-key rollover design. If you want to use skills to play games, just use it.
With both good looks and high practicality, Daryou A87 Pro single-mode customized gaming mechanical keyboard is indeed an optional external keyboard for many laptop users. If you often use laptops for gaming and office work, and also want to If you have the experience of using a mechanical keyboard, buying it is indeed a good purchase.
